I Want This. October 8, 2014Jules 1 CommentSo the other day I was chillin, listening to The Future Beats show by Complexion (super amazing way to discover fresh music!) and this jam popped on. The clucky plucky water droplet cacophony caught my ear immeeeediately. This has to be one of the most unique songs I’ve heard in a llllonnnng time. It might be too advanced for it’s own good honestly! The colorful sound samples and pops, intensely dynamic vocal warps, dramatic drums and all-around dreamy sensual feels are mind bending. (Eclectic would be an understatement!) I have no doubt that there will be MANY copycats to this fresh sound when it catches popularity. At the moment, Quelle has an underwhelming amount of followers, which is mind blowing itself for such talent, but I have a feeling we’re gonna see a song catch fire soon and then… then it’s all over. Honestly, I think Quelle is a big mystery and would doubt that this was the first song produced… Hmmmm…… who is Quelle??! Anyways, be the first to hear such magnificent originality!! Follow and support! Electronicaphrodite (i want it), complexion, quelle, the future beats showShare : Tweet
Snatch This October 3, 2014Jules 2 Comments“They don’t make dubstep like they used to.” I mean, doesn’t everyone hear that every other day or so? …Or maybe it’s just me who’s sayin that every other day or so….. But let’s be real, quite often, dubstep really isn’t what it used to be! It’s had it’s 15 minutes of fame, (yet forever altering the electronic music world as we know it). HOWEVER, it’s not going quietly into the night as there are still pllllenty of dubstep artists with massive skillz! It’s just harder to find them amongst the gigantic sea of new producers creating the “hardest” sounds possible but forgetting the art of creation and the power of an appropriate drop that is more than the sound of a washing machine on steroids. Trolley Snatcha (Zack the Lad) is so ridiculously skilled in creating his own unique concoction of sounds and maintaining that classical grimy dub quality that we all got addicted to in the beginning. This song is PERFECT for Friday to amp you up for the weekend!! I love the raggaeton style rising into the sickest wobbles and rich growling drops that have a character all their own. Trolley knows how to switch up his heavy sounds and create a variety of gritty bass, keeping you entertained from start to finish. This. Is dubstep mastery. Dubstep, RemixShare : Tweet
Blues Baby September 26, 2014Jules 1 CommentAwwww yyyeeeaaa!! Some bad ass blues-y business goin on here. I love the trippy effects at the intro that blossom into some groovy gravelly bass carried through the rest of the song. It’s a perfect seasoning for sampling those blues lyrics. There’s a slow motion, stoned kind of feel that just makes you close your eyes and smiiiiiile. This beauty right here is a collaboration of Adam Deitch (drummer for Pretty Lights), Break Science, and Manic Focus. You can definitely hear the signature sounds of each artist melding into a rather fine specimen for the electronic music world! It’s only their first babe together and I’m already holding my breath for the next one! Blues, Chill, Electronic"Break Science", "Manic Focus", blues, funk, pretty lights, you gotta moveShare : Tweet
Freakout Chillout September 24, 2014Jules 2 CommentsNothin like a chill song with positive vibes to git you through that rough hump day! I’ve been on an Ambassadeurs kick since seeing him open for Odesza at the Fonda this past Saturday. He was the PERFECT pairing with Odesza and really brought his A game.. def walked away with a bazillion new fans I’m surrrrre of it. This jam definitely takes you on a lovely internal journey. At 7 minutes you’d think that might drag but the quiet build is transcending and hypnotizing. I love the hollowed vocals and soothing background sounds with a soft hum of bass. It’s a great song to mellow you without putting you in a sleeper hold! Chill, Electronic, Remixambassadeurs, electro, indie, remixShare : Tweet
Breathtakingly Breathless September 22, 2014Jules 2 CommentsI always take my hat off for a good remix.. I think it might seeeeeem like it should be easier to create, because you already have a foundation to work from, but in some ways it’s gotta be way harder because how do you break free from what’s already laid down and keep the parts that work? So, I tip my hat to Regulator’s remix of Candyland’s, “Breathless”. They added just enough bass and switched up the whole vibe of the song! Candyland’s original is much more house-y and sweet, with a tropical island feel, which I’m cool with but I’m really feelin’ Regulator’s take on it. The vocal warp, bassline and some tasteful high hats and claps, all work so well together . The build and drop is heavier and has a sexy bite to it. Definitely, breath-taking.

Get Krooked September 18, 2014Jules 3 CommentsDAMMIT DENVER!!!! Why are YOU the most popular ho?!?!! Denver is like the broodmare for producing superior quality producers. She is The MOTHER PRODUCER if you will. She popped out Krooked Drivers a couple years ago and now they are in their “terrible two’s” phase. And when I say terrible, we all know I mean like super duper awesome. The duo is constantly pushing variation from song to song and working their ASSES off to avoid all genre types, I swear! You never know what they’re gonna bust out next. This jam right here is killin’ it with dat synth, uplifting beat and chipmunk voice (I will forever adore the chipmunk voice. Don’t hate.) I’m seriously loving the gorgeous blend of hyper drums, angelic strings, and subtle crackle effect creating a dynamic cluster of rrrrich sound. This song shares some elements of Beats Antique and Pretty Lights (AGAIN DENVER! AGAIN!!!!), with it’s cultural sound, energetic melody and funky flavor. Deez guys (well, guy and girl) got what it takes to rise above. Get on that followin’, they will not disappoint! Deep, Electronicelectronic, krooked drivers, something in the airShare : Tweet
Wet Hot Buku Summer September 17, 2014Jules 2 CommentsBuku never ceases to amaze with his ridicockulous gritty bass, unique sounds, and floor humping beats. His latest is no exception. His lead ALWAYS reals you in because you know the drop is gonna be crazy and not that typical bass “thump” or robot-orgasm trash that rookies are cramming into their songs in a giant douche competition to be the filthiest dub. Buku fine tunes his jams to create an addictive blend of gnarly bass layered with sweat-inducing, future trappy goodness. I feel like he spends a lot of his time trying to find that perfect sound… Or maybe it just pops into his head while he’s on the john. I don’t know but it works! Electronic, Remix, TrapShare : Tweet
